Default Re: Phan takes chiplead

James Butt (one of the 3 chip leaders at the table) got moved there after JC Tran busted out. Raymer/Bonyadi are the other two.

Default Matusow

Mike Matusow breaks 1.2 mil
Mike Matusow increased his chip stack to 1.26 million when he busted a player on the feature table with a pair of [A]'s made on the flop. The other player showed pocket [7]'s with no help on the board.

Default Re: Boyd eliminated

You're right that it becomes close. I tend to think of 10-1 as the odds you want for set value, but 8-1 is certainly in the ballpark. I've completely lost track of the bets and stack sizes at this point, but I think the thing about the 600k is that a big chunk of that is Greg's own money that's still in his stack.

If you told me 60k or 70k or whatever was the perfect bet I wouldn't disagree with you, although if it gets much higher than that you don't have enough for the flop. As usual, the way this all got started was some people who decided the 50k raise was just an obviously wrong play, and the guy clearly should have pushed, which just doesn't make sense to me.

You can always count on this at 2+2: when someone busts, the results players will always say "you shoulda raised more preflop!" Apparently there are some people who accumulate enough chips to win tournaments without ever letting their opponent see a flop.

This is what Pauly at Tao of Poker wrote:

4:17pm... Fossilman jawed with a railbird who was pestering his wife about their kids, "If you [censored] with my daughter, you're dead." That guy was being a total idiot and I was about to call security to clear him out when the guy bolted.

[/ QUOTE ]

WTF is he thinking? Yeah good idea, threaten to kill someone in front of hundreds of people while you're playing for $7.5mil

[/ QUOTE ]

I would have done the same. Who cares about the 7.5 million when some psycho is [censored] with your wife?

... I hope the ESPN coverage is expansive enough to capture the tenor of his play, rather then the usual heavy editing that only shows "key" hands/big pots.

Seriously. If some guy starts spewing inappropriate [censored] about my daughter, I'm not going to just sit there and take it. Greg has to know the whole room has his back in that situation.

He didn't "lose" the chip lead by any bad play of his own, someone else won a huge pot.

Card Player Update Log

Title: Wang goes all-in on Butt
Log: With the flop showing Ks-8s-8c-7h-Qc, James Butt leads out for $50,000. Bing Wang comes over the top of Butt, going all-in. Both players show Q-8 and Butt and Wang chop, showing the nuts.

Title: Short Stack Power
Log: Short short short stack Mike Wattel ($32,000) raises all-in, and gets no callers, picking up the blinds and antes.

Title: Featured Table Update
Log: Mike Matusow is still at ESPN's Featured Table, but unfortunately he's not sharing a table with Greg Raymer like he was last night. It's also unfortunate that the media can't hear what he's saying. (The players are mic'd, but the audio goes directly to ESPN.) Here are the chip counts and seating positions:


Seat 1: Mike Matusow - $449,500
Seat 2: Joseph Chiosie - $248,500
Seat 3: Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf - $351,000
Seat 4: Joe Beevers - $124,500
Seat 5: Stephen Deetz - $142,500
Seat 6: Andrew Black - $251,000
Seat 7: Daniel Alaei - $116,000
Seat 8: Kjetil Praesttun - $114,500
Seat 9: Gregory Rice - $326,500
